Famous quotes containing the words norman and/or thomas:

    Many are called but few are chosen. There are sayings of Christ which suggest that the Church he came to establish will always be a minority affair.
    —Edward Norman (b. 1946)

    I see you boys of summer in your ruin.
    Man in his maggot’s barren.
    And boys are full and foreign in the pouch.
    I am the man your father was.
    We are the sons of flint and pitch.
    O see the poles are kissing as they cross.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
